Great Product. Functions flawlessly.

Would Recommend

Early in 2020, the ice maker attached to the refrigerator that came with in our apartment was barely functioning. We ordered our own refrigerator but had to wait quite a number of months for delivery due to the shipping problems associated with the pandemic. In the interim, we purchased a Newair AI-100 ice maker and were delighted in its ability to reliably make ice for us at a rapid rate. We have been using the ice maker even after our refrigerator was finally delivered to supplement the built-...

Our ice maker has saved us so much time and money. It is a good investment for anyone that uses a good amount of ice. It has saved us countless trips to the store and gas money for those trips. The ice tastes great and we love the round shaped ice!

We have had our ice maker for about a year. It stopped working and I reached out to customer service to assist with troubleshooting. A part had broken and although just out of warranty, they covered it. Part is on backorder. But will get shipped out soon. Outstanding customer service

The product worked well for about seven months and then it stopped making ice. Since I was still under the one year warranty I got quick service from the company and they are replacing it very quickly. I appreciated the promptness

I would buy this product again

Would Recommend

I don't have enough counter space so I put the ice machine on a plant dolly. I can slide it in and out of the panty as needed. I use a lot of ice cubes and it is so nice not to fill ice cube trays every couple of days. I turn the machine on and walk away. I love it. It doesn't make a lot of noise, however, if I forget it's on I start wondering what the noise is when the ice cubes drop into the plastic tray.

Would Recommend

I have had mine for 6 years and am very happy with it. I carry it in my RV and like how fast I get the first batch of cubes, never timed it but I am guessing about 5 minutes. Each batch of large cubes is good for a glass of soda or two bourbons! Most days the bin is always full. When left in the direct sun on really hot days, the cubes melt fairly quick. When I see this, I usually transfer the cubes to a solo cup and put them in the freezer.

I was given this product as a gift from my daughters. It was very easy to use and the ability to choose the different sized ice cubes was great. The machine can be a little loud when it is making the ice, but nothing that would keep me from recommending or purchasing it again.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Would Recommend

I have never liked half moon shaped ice. I live on a lake and use lots of ice during the summer months. I found this nifty ice maker when researching counter top ice makers. I love the bullet shape! The unit is quiet and fits perfectly on my counter! A little less than a year after I bought it, it gave me some problems. I called NewAir. I got Liz in customer service. It is so nice to speak with someone who can understand me and I can understand them. Plus, she was very helpful and solved my prob...

When we got the ice maker I was so excited. My family goes through ice very quickly. We set it on our counter and we couldn't be happier. The ice makes quickly and constantly. We never run out of ice. It's great.

Would Not Recommend

Did not even have it over a month and it stopped working and even a couple months later we have not even received verification that a new replacement unit has been shipped, they need the cord cut and pictures of the old machine before they can send a new one or they would want me to send the old NOT WORKING one in and I have to pay for shipping.
